Hazelburn 10 Year Old Rundlets & Kilderkins Single Malt Scotch

This is the second release from Springbank's Rundlets and Kilderkins range. This is a 2001 vintage Longrow, aged for 11 years in small 15 and 18 gallon casks. As a result, the maturing spirit gets more wood contact leading to a great interplay between Longrow's rustic smokiness, and the sweet, spicy character from lots of wood contact.

"Smoke is easy to identify from the beginning and is soon joined with medicinal notes and subtle burning embers. On returning to nose, sweetness such as toffee apple is more pronounced. On the palate, both peat and smoke are detected yet it is simultaneously sweet, particularly toffee and fudge. This is followed with the taste of liquorice. Rich and oily from its maturation in small casks, it gives an impression of being older than its 11 years. Long, smooth and sweet finish. Slow and lingering hint of peat with peat reaching a crescendo with a strong peaty aftertaste." -The Importer
